Queerology 04 – Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza

Knowing intimately that the borderlands are a place of learning and growth, Dr. Robyn Henderson-Espinoza draws on their identity and heritage as a Trans queer Latinx in everything that they do. From doubt to divine and everywhere in between, their call as an activist-theologian demands the vision to disrupt hegemony and colonialist structures of multi-layered oppressions. As an anti-oppression, anti-racist, non-binary Trans*gressive Latinx, Robyn takes seriously their call as an activist theologian and ethicist to bridge together theories and practices that result in communities responding to pressing social concerns.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Robyn to talk about liberation, how it is different than equality, what collective flourishing might look like, radical difference, bridge building, and their new project: a book called Activist Theology.
